President George W. Bush has decided to send about 20,000 more U.S. troops to
Iraq, a Republican senator who met the president on Monday said.
"It was clear to me that a decision has been made for a surge of, I suppose, 20,000 additional troops," Sen. Gordon Smith (news, bio, voting record) of Oregon told reporters in a telephone conference call after a White House meeting.
